Earliest Micronauts COMIC BOOK memory

[johnmiic]

Sorry if you feel this should be in Comics but I think most Micronauts fans will look for it in this forum.

The first Micronauts comic I ever bought was issue #4,...errrr, that my Mom bought me. I brought it to school to show my buddies. I pointed out how cool the toys were, how well Baron Karza was drawn, this new character Bug that I had no figure of, and this issue is perhaps the most Endeavor filled issue in the run, (where can I buy an Endeavor toy I wondered back then?), and all my friends would look at were the hot drawings of Marionette.

HEY!

The first one I got was #5! Micronauts was the first comic I collected regularly. Took forever to get the first four, since comic shops and back isues weren't a big thing back then.

I think Annual #2 was the first one I bought......

I'm pretty sure my first Micronauts comic was number 12. Already had several of the toys by then.

I grew up on a farm and I remember at the time I got this comic I had to help my dad out in the almond orchard (this is durning August when it's insanely hot in central California). Every time I took a break (which was as often as I could get away with) I would sit in our van and study that book.

I've had a thing for Michael Golden artwork ever since.

Funny thing, a few years later I was at the grocery store and saw 13 on the rack and it was the direct sale version to boot. Don't know how it got there but I snagged it.

Got number one off the rack in Lacon or Roanoke Illinois, forget which town it was.

I remember gettng the first dozen or so issues. Can't remember much about the art or story, though. I was also buying Shogun Warriors and Team america, so my taste as a nine year old is still in question.

I always wondered who the green Bug guy was and I was saddened at the "death" of the short, squat robot with the big red head. I never really connected toys with book, though since they really didn't much look alike to my young eyes.

I may have to go back and pick asome of these up.

I remember picking up issue #3 - "Death Duel at Daytona Beach!" Don't remember if it came in a three pack or I got it off the rack as a single issue. I was fond of that issue and enjoyed the art (Michael Golden). The comic made me want the toys - never got that Space Glider as a kid though - but had the Baron Karza, Galactic Warrior, and a couple of Time Travelers with smaller vehicles. (I was probably getting Star Wars figures at the time.)

My first was #10. I think my parents bought it for me in a hotel lobby in Wildwood,NJ. I was hooked! No 7-11 around me carried the Micronauts, so I had to patiently wait, until my Dad would drive me to Eldorado Comics in Pennsauken, NJ once a month. I still remember tracking down all those back issues. They were so expensive back then! #1 cost me $8. Now I see them sitting in quarter bins. Sad.

Issue 12 is the first I got (IIRC)...Where Karza has been already defeated and Acroyear battles Shaitan to the death on Spartak...I was hooked from then on.

Micronauts #3, and I was never the same. #11 almost made my head explode. I thought the Micronauts' story was better than Star Wars... and I loved Star Wars.
